Yeah, but, that one of Hank's looks to be a work of art. Something I'd like to have since my OHC pontiac will probably sit in one for years before being placed in an actual engine bay. PS, I need parts if anyone has any, I.E. manual flywheel, bell housing, N.O.S. valves,power steering bracket and pulleys, ect, Thanks, Sid

Yep, I see Randall on the OHV forums all the time. The guy does good work, and, actually finishs stuff, I'm impressed, Dang, I think i just hijacked this thread, all apologies, Hank just tell me where you got the cradle, Thanks Sid

Thanks for the compliment. I get things done, but they are usually far from perfect. I have one set of spare NOS valves (in GM boxes), but I "think" they are for '66-'67 4bbl heads. Four different valve stem lengths were used in the run of these engines, 1bbl and 4bbl engines used different length valves (because chamber depth differences) and the 230 and 250 engines used different valves (same reason as above).

I don't have any other real spare parts from there. All I really have is enough parts to build my turbo engine. A 1bbl intake/exhaust and carburetor are the only "extra" parts I really have. I don't have a manual transmission bellhousing, but I do have a manual trans flywheel, but I need it to engine dyno my turbo engine, plus my Firebird has a man pedal, so if I decide to ever go to a manual trans I'll have it on hand.

Also, Pontiac V8's and Olds have the starter on the opposite side as the OHC L6 and Buick's. The L6 starter is lower down than the Buick one due to the L6 being a deep skirt block.

I'm going to go bump my thread. If you have any specific questions about mine as away there

Rebuilding an OHC Pontiac 250 with EFI and a Turbo

Yeah, anytime, and, I mean anytime you think something is gonna be eaey, of course it's twice as complicated, especially with the OHC Pontiac. So, I'll quit thread hijacking now and go bang my head against the wall. Thanks

I like the look of the cowl better too, but the vents don't look too bad. Its amazing how much hot air exhausts out the open scoop on my Firebird. In fact, I'm 90% sure it's why my air intake temperatures are high on the car because the air is being pulled up by the area of low pressure on the top of the hood, not to mention the extra push of high pressure under the hood.

Thanks for asking!Sorry to say no real updates . Life's been getting in the way and low finances with no pay increase at my job for 7 years now. Bad resession still? Currently I had a bone spur removed from my heel of my foot so hard to get around. I plan on mini tubbing it soon, it will be my first time. A bit nervious! My car still needs a lot of work and parts also, not having the funds to purchase the parts It gets a bit depressing.How's your foundry doing?MBHD

Its much easier to let a full size foundry cast the bigger things. I just got my 3rd new intake design from the 2016 year finally cast. Its a true EFI intake also designed and intended for turbo use, it reminds me of your intake. So i'm starting off 2017 with a larger list of things i've already designed to get cast and into the hands of inline enthusiasts.

Hank sorry to hear of the health issues and money woes. Wouldn't it be fun to hit one of those big lotteries and never worry about hot rod money again? It's looking like I'll spend the next warm season working on my dozer, bobcat, and tractor. Time left over will be using them on our road. This winter in kicking my old butt!

Lottery winning would be fun, but I'll never win it, never bought a ticket. Keep plugging away on it. Why not just get it running and driving? Just throw a cheap paint job on it. They are much more fun when they are driven.
